 ,m'j^: iJ^jJjpj^JW,.. HEAIjTH. IGnenl Water Tieatment in Heart Bis- The following interesting and valuable paper is by an eminent Paris physician The advisability of the use of mineral waters in the treatment of diseases of the heart is a question that has been not a little discussed of recent times, and during the last few years the waters of Aix-'cs-Baines, of the ilount Dore and the mud baths of Dax have been especially recommended. The use of the latter, w hen they are hand- led with skill, is quite supported by the hcan. They give it a relative amount of rest by- lowering the arterial tension with- out hasteuing its contractions and at the same time they act as an energetic stimu- lant to the general nutrition of the body, which may posaibly have a cerUin iiiHuencc over the different forms of myocarditis, which are, after all, connected in Sfjme way witli a disorder in. the cardiac nutrition. Thi.-) pliy-siological action justifies in a measure the u.sc of certain springs and mud forms of myocarditis at their begmning. I would like to call the careful attention' of the physicians practising at the ^rings to this subject. The only remaining point is to oonaider which springs can be used in applying this new method. They are very numerous. To the resorta which 1 have already named can be added Badenweiler, with its large baths, which render such great service in cardiac nenroses brought on by sexual eihauation, hypochondria, the abuse of tobacco, c. In the same order of ideas the waUrs con- taining sulphate of sodium, combined with a strict rt/jimt, seem to me also worth try- ing. It is already known tliat Saint-Neclaire with its slight mineral gualities, has, v.hen the treatment is well handled, an action which is very like the one of which I am speaking. This would lead me also to try Carlsljad; Brides and Mirs, but in slightly ax ative doses. TH£ OSIGIHAIi FATAQOBIAHS. A Boar-Himt In Germany.

There is one hranc-fi wliich, although not now engaged in with the zest of their forefathers, still is, in its outward forms at least, followed with all the pomp and circum.stance which disting uished it humlreds of years ago. We refer to the chase of the wild l»oar in the forests of lerniany. The foremost hunt is that of the Uruncwald, which, coining at frcijuent in- tervals, gives us a welcome glimpse into the manners and customs of rough old-world Ii.-rman life.

Fifteen minutes, nv att, pass and then the master of the hunt, Count Richard Oolina SciilohiUen, advances to the I'rince with all ceremony, and says, " Vour Royal lligliiic.ss, il is time for the hunt to l»egin." 1'he I'rince then raises Ins hand. With salute. Heir }*alm puts his waldhorn to his lips and Mows a long and shrill hla.st, which, echoing and re-echoing letween the castle and the WfH)d.s, gives the signal for the chiise. '• I^ay on the dogs Ha I hal 'i'ra-la-ia- lira-la!" The I'rince's horn rings merrily ihrougli the woods, as, followed hy all the company, he pushes forward on the chase. The hounds are otfon a keen scent, ami as they jiick up the " faehrte ' of the game they give the cr^ that telLsthc hunters where lo ff.Ilow. Now the whole fiehi is in full (-lia.se. and ]ircscnlly the leailer makes room for ladies, ilic restlessness of whose ciiargera lias eaused a delay, (^uite recently Kuglisli horses alone Wi-re ii-se^l for the cluLse.

It ha*l been explored by Lopez four years before, and even before that time. There was one Portu- guese trader settled on an island in the bay, the pioneer settler of the great city which stands there to-day. The whole crew were delighted with the luxuries of the climate and the cordiality o\ the simple natives. "You can buy six hens for a king of dia- monds,"' says PIgafelta, the aninsmg his- torian of the voyage. "rhey are not Chris- tians, but they are not idolaters, for they adore nothing; instinct is their only law. " This is his summary account of their religious habit and condition, an account proved to be quite inadequate by more careful inqiiiriss. After thirteen days spent in this bay the squadron resumed its voyage of discovery. They looked in at the great estuary of the lUver La Plata, but -Solis, who had loet his life there, hatl already discovered that this was not a passage to the Pacific. Still coast- ing southward they sighted and perhaps landed on the Island of Penguins and the Island of Sea Lions, and there were struck by a terrible storm. Xot far from these islands, on the shore of the continent, they discovered the Bay of Sand uliirti, and here â-  Magellan determined to winter. Magellan made his ships secure at the shore, built a forge and storehouse and -some huts for Itariacks, and estftblished a little oVjservatory, where Andres San Martin determined the latitude at 49 degrees IS minutes. Longitude in those times they could not well ileterniine. While they were thus occupied a little party of natives appeared, and -after some friendly signalling one or more of them came on Ijoartl. Mayellau directed a sailor to land, and to imitate every gesture of the first who appeared, as atoken.of frientlship. The man acted his part so well that the gentle savage" w;is propitiated ami readily came lo an interview. On this or anotjier occjision six Indians consented to go on loard the flagship. Their SpJinish hosts gave them a kettle-fuU of biscuits -enough for twenty men, in iheCastillian mca-sure of ap|etite, Jiut the hungry Lnlians devour- ed it all. Two, at least, of these visitors were of unusual size. The Spaniards only came up to their girdles, liut, as thechildj- ren"s IxMjks say, these were "friendly giants. '" One if them saw the sjiiloi-s throwing rats overijoard and iH-'gged that he might have them for his own. Afterward he regularly received-lhe rats caught on loard the ships as a daily perquisite. IJcfore their voyage was over Magellan'ssaihirs were glad enough to follow his example and to place these fellow- voyagers on their bill of fare at Ihe rate of a ducat apiece. This party of si.\â€" and a party of nine seen at another time â€" which may have in- cluded part or all of the fii-st six, are all of the natives whom Magellan and his men ever saw. Of these, it seenig certain that two at least weie very large. All the In- dians wore large shoes, which they stuffed with straw fir warmth, prom this custom ihe Spaniards gave them the name of Pata- gons, meaning in Spjinish those who have large feet. When Magellan was alwmt to sail he determind to carry the two giants home as curiosities. It was impossihlc to overjMfwer either of tlieni in fair contest, ami he resorted to trtrachery, whieh can (iiily I-e excu.scd tm the theoiyofthe Spaniards at that time than all these savages were lo he ranked among brutes, over whom 'hrislian men had certain special I'ights, The two frientUy giants Wing ahout to leave ihe shii»s, Magellan liKtded them with presents.

When they discovered this they were wild with rage, and vainly ealled on their god .Seteho.s to come to their rescue. \ot .satisfied with this success .Magellan tried to make more captives. He ,liiecle nine of his strongest men to conqiel two .1 '1 the Iiidi.ins to take them lo the .station where their women were. One oF them es- cajKfd, but the other was snhdned after a hard coulHct.

The shutters rattl^; the rain beat madly against the window panes; the trees creaked- and moaned, and tneir long, bare branches came straggling a^nst the house with a creeping, grating sound that was un- canny. But inside all was light and warmth. A bright fire glowing in the grate sent rays of light and waves of warmth into the comers of the room; the curtains were drawn, and everything looked bright and homelike here, in spite of " wind and weather. In front of the fire, on low ottomans, and nestling on the hearth rug, were four grave little folks, silently gazing into the fire. As silence was not their strong point, there was something remarkable in it. " Why, what is the matter with my pets that they're so quiet? Holding a Quaker meeting " " O papa papa Have yon come? When ditl you come I'm so glad so glad so glad." Such a chorus of screeches and screams such an avalanche of kisses and hugs as be- fell me, 1 was soon comfortably ensconced by the fire, and then said " Well, why was the room so quiet when I entered'" " O, papa, Bess said she was afraid, and believed there were ghosts around â€" there were such singular noises outside.

One ran across my road when I was a little ehapgoing to sch(X)l. We had a long Way to go to school, and part of the way was through, the woods. One morning as we were racing along, just as we reacheil this piece t)f woods, a big fellow bounced out of r)ne side, ami tlisappeared in the thicket on the oiheraide."

"I've got the father, but I don't know alKnit the story. Ii(in't they have any liears when yon were small? " No, the wild bears were all gone then. Ci't there were plenty ot deer and what preity creatures they were They used to come in our fields and eat the wheat, of which they were very fond antl they used to_ drink at the river not far from our house. We used to kill them to eat â€" veni- son is very nice meat. I wait quite a lad when I killed my first deer, and how proud I was of it, too. An old lady who visited sometimes, had a tame deer that fol bear, which was captored when a mere enbk That bear was a mo3t friendly fellow. One morning an nncle of yours was ehc^png, when something came np from behind, and catching him in its hnge anns, gave him a vigorous hogging.

That was when he was a cnb â€" before he gave your ancle that hearty embrace. And when he got opposite our house, our Ing dog rushed ont ana frightened him so that he clunbed a tree and I had to take the dog to the house before his master could coax him down. And when he came down, he went cowing along the rail fence until he was quite a distance from the house, before he ventured upon the ground. "Bears are very fond of milk, and this one was no exception to the rule. One day an old woman passed hini with a pale of milk Mr. Bruin walked up with her on his hind legs grasped the pail in his fore-paws, took it away from her, and drank up the milk. '*It is queer how a bear walks on his hind feet, and carries burdens in his arms. " "Arms, papa?" ** Well, you little puss, in his fore-paws, then. I have heard your grandfather tell about a huge bear that came into his fath- er's yard and carried off a full grown pig walked ofi* with it in his arms â€" -beg pardon, his fore-paws â€" as if it had been a baby. Right in the day time, too. How the poor pig did squeal and cry but as my grand- mother â€" your great-grandmother wat there alone, she liad to let tiim go. Prob- ably if your grandfather had been there, Mr. Bruin would not have gotten off so easily with his booty. " Your grandfather was ont hunting one day, when he met a very large bear. He fired and broke one of its shoulders. He had no more bullets and he knew not what to do. What would you have done in his place. Jack " " I don't know papa what did he do " ' He tried to fiash powder in his eyes and blind him, so that he could get near enough to kill him with a club. But the bear was so furious with the pain, that your grand- father had to get oat of his way. The next tlay he and another man with a pack of .dogs went after the bear. They found him under the roots nf an old tree and killed him. ** You know bears were valuable. The meat was good to eat and the skin and oil were both usefuL " Now I think we have had quite bears enough and you little folks must all go to bed." CUB £XFE£IH£NTAL FABMS. A Talaable •plalea an ^elr Fracllcal lllilliy. Mr. Henry F. Moore, of the Mark Laiie ExpreM, BdrJtAVtfMu Mensetojer, Fanntrii' Maijaziiit and airriQultural writer for the London Times, jA other day called upon the Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa who sub- sequently conducted him to the experimental farm. Speaking of his visit Mr. Moore said he was amazed at the extent and value of the improvements that hatl been made at the farm since he visited it two years ago. "Then," he said, "it was as rough as a person would wish to see to-day I found it had been brought to wonderful order and is now in such a gool state of tilth that in this respect as well as in general appear- ance it would Ix! no discredit to the older model farms of Knglaiid. There is, besiiles, some magnificent stock on the farm. There is bound to result from the establishment of these experimental farms an immense deal of gootl to the country. You will be able to test by experiments the most suitable kinds of new vegetables and cereals for this country, thus giving the fanners atlditional eyes ami brains for the business in which they are engaged. The great benetit of experiments comes from the fact that they are made on the spot, for the lesson of ex- periment is only valuable when learned in the locality in which it is to be put in prac- tice," Mr. Moore gave a numlier of reasons to support his Indief in a higher price for wheat this season, among them the shortage of the Ameritran and European harvests and the failure of the potato crop in t^e Brit- ish Islands. Speaking of the live cattle trade, he hopetl, he said, that the people of Canada woulil be prepared to support the policy of the (Government in maintaining the stringency of the regulations in regard to the admission of L' .S. cattle. In no other way couhl the advantages now enjoy- ed byfauadian cattle exporters iiKKngland l»c maintained. The British farmers are favoiable t-o the importation of Canadian cattle, which are 1an]ed alive and fattened on Knglish pastures with the aid of English capital. Asked if the sulntitution ot Ladoga, or any earlier ripening variety of wheat, would depreciate the superior price now obtained for Manitoba wheat in England, Mr. Moore said not. Canadian wheat is valued for its hardness. That quality is not found in the siime red fyfe wheat grown in England, but is given to it by the peculiar soil antl cli- mate conditions of the North-west country and of txiurse any other variety wouhl ac- quire in Manitoba that valuable quality of hardness, just as the red fyfe has done. The Latloga, or a new variety â€" the Anglo- Canailian â€" the latter recently obtained in England by experiment, would attain under the conditions that obtain in Canada the hardness that makes your wheat invaluable t« English millers since the intpjdnction of the roller process.

An incident is reported in Venezuela that may leail to one of those miserable petty little wars in which England, even if vic- toriouSi always appears in the light of the big persecuting the small Recently the British gun 1»oat Ready, from Demernra, with Commissioner McTurck on board, ar- rived at Barinia at the mouth of the Orinoco, and ordered the captain of Faro, a Venezue- lan man-of-war, to haul down hia colors. He submitted to the superior force. The Ven zuelan government has sent a commission to the spot to investigate. The commander of the Faro will be tried by court-martial for having yielded without making a proper show of resistance. The press of Caraceas suggests that another vessel be sent with her guns shotted and the Venezuelan flag nailed to the mast, and if worsted to appeal to the United States and the sister republics i f •South America and to the parliament of Eng- land, It appears tliat a dispute has exist- ed some timebetweenEnglandand Venezue- la as to a portion of territory lying between British Guiana and the mouth of the Orinoco riyer which is the natural outlet for the pro- duce of the country. Lately two Cana- dians, named William Try Stevens and Cliarles A. Connolly, representing themselves as Americans from New York, were expell- ed from the country for selling maps in the city of Caraceas showing this belt of land as being disputed territory. A Pocket Teleijione. A pocket telephone has been introduced in Berlin. The idea upon which its use is based is that electric bells are found everywhere, and there is no reason why they should not be used for telephoning as well. The pocket telephone is to be cMinected to the bell wires of hotels and hospitals as well as private houses, and it is claimed that people will be able to speak to distant places by simply taking their telephone out of tJieir pockets as they would their watch.
